Chapter 14 Panic
Chapter 14 Panic
Henry was so strong that Claire could even hear the sound of bones rubbing. The bald man was in a panic. His face was full of nervousness and uneasiness.
It was not only because of Henry's great strength, but also his face that everyone could recognize.
The bald man was stunned for a moment. He smiled awkwardly, and then barely endured the pain on his wrist and greeted him obsequiously.
"Mr. ... Henry? You... Mr. Henry, it's you. Why are you here? "
Obviously, his men didn't expect that Henry would be here. They were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. The people around looked at each other, apparently asking for each other's opinions.
Henry didn't answer his question. He just answered indifferently and then repeated, "Yes. Why am I here? "
As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand and pulled Claire out of the bald man's arms. He would never allow anyone else to touch his people! Even if it was just eye contact, Henry was unwilling to do so. Although Claire was just a tool for surrogacy, it was also Henry's tool. No one was allowed to covet her.
The bald man was about to cry. His face was full of ferocity. It was painful, but he didn't dare to do anything to the man in front of him. He twisted his body, trying to relieve some pain. "It's all a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding... Mr. Henry, please be gentle! My wrist is going to break... I don't know that this woman is your woman. If I knew it, I wouldn't dare to do so even if I was lent one hundred thousand guts. Don't you think so? Ah, Mr. Henry, please be gentle... "
If he had found out from the very beginning that this man was Henry, he might not have had so many things to do next! However, there was no "if" in this society, so the bald man was destined to pay the
price for his frivolity.
There was still no emotion change on Henry's face. He looked at the bald man up and down and asked, "which hand did you touch her just now?"
Which hand touched Claire? This sentence was definitely a code word, the implication was to chop his hand off!
The bald man had never talked to Henry like that before. He was so frightened that his legs went limp. He knelt down with a plop, and then begged for mercy with tears rolling down. "Mr. Henry, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I promise I won't make mistakes again in the future. I don't know this woman is your woman. If I knew it, our boss would definitely not dare to do so. Don't you think so? Who dares to compete with you! "
He is right. It was known that Henry was the representative of A City. As long as this name was mentioned, basically everyone would be polite to him, not only because of his family background, but also because of his unique way of handling things!
Without replying to the bald man, Henry just looked at Claire with a straight face and raised his eyebrows. "Woman, it's up to you. What do you want to do if it's your turn? I can do anything for you as long as you say something. "
This was also the reward for Shirley's bowl of noodles. In fact, he didn't want to stand out, but seeing that Claire pretended to be calm, Henry finally took action. Somehow, when he saw the woman's clear and innocent eyes, Henry felt that his heart was sucked in, like a bottomless hole, making him unable to get rid of it.
When Claire, who had been restless, heard these words, her eyes lit up in an instant. She nodded quickly, and then asked expectantly, "Really?"
If possible, could she delay the payment for a few more days? Thinking of this, Claire got excited for no reason. But how could Henry know that his plan was totally against Claire's.
Henry thought that Claire would punish him, but Claire was happy just to buy some time.
The bald man was so frightened that he hit his head against the floor and begged, "Mrs. Claire... Mr. Henry. Mrs. Claire, please show mercy! We didn't know anything about it. I will tell our boss when I go back. We don't need the interest. What do you think? "
This kind of person liked to act according to the wind. If Claire couldn't see through it, she would continue to fall into such a dilemma in the future! In this society, if you don't know how to look at other people's faces, you will eventually get into trouble.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Claire slowly approached, and then took the initiative to speak bravely, "Can I really not pay the interest? But... As for the capital, could you... Can you wait a few more days? I'm going to get my salary soon. Can I pay you back two thousand? I really can't spare so much money. "
While speaking, she looked at the bald man with expectation. The sincerity on her face made Henry feel shocked. Did this woman know what she was talking about! If this news spread out and let others know, it would be a laughingstock! How could Henry's woman still care about that two thousand dollars?
Obviously, the bald man didn't expect that Claire would say something like that. In fact, even if she said she wouldn't give him the money, the bald man would nod in agreement. After all, it was related to Henry. Even if their boss wanted to take her money, he didn't dare to challenge Henry's temper openly.
With an embarrassed smile, the bald man glanced at Henry and asked, "Then... Of course. Ha, ha... Do you think so, Mr. Henry? "
If Henry said no, he would pretend nothing had happened! Anyway, he was Henry. If the bald man could get rid of this matter, it would be useless for their boss to tangle with him.
With his eyes fixed on Claire, Henry asked again, "Woman, is that the only thing you want to do?" NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Generally speaking, people would make good use of the opportunity to get revenge, but this woman was only used to ask for more days to pay the money. If she said no, Henry believed that the man would not dare to say anything.
At this moment, Claire had shown a bright smile. She nodded excitedly and then replied seriously, "Well, thank you very much, Henry. I have enough time to make a turnover."
It seemed that the woman wasn't faking it. Henry could only sigh helplessly and then let go of his hand, giving the bald man temporary freedom. The moment he was released, the bald man took a few steps back and thanked him. Before Claire said anything, the bald man ran out in a flash.
Since he had run away, those minions didn't have the courage to stay any longer. They immediately turned around and ran out with the bald man. In the face of this sudden reversal, Claire burst into laughter. When Henry was about to say something, he met Claire's eyes by accident.
At this moment, Claire looked at him with admiration and even gratitude.
In the face of such a Claire, Henry seemed to be a little uncomfortable. In an instant, he pulled his face down, and then turned back to the serious man as usual. "If you have nothing else to say, let's leave. I have something to deal with back to the company."
"But my noodles haven't..."
Henry reached out his big hand and firmly grabbed the wrist of Claire. Then he politely smiled at Shirley and said, "Aunt, we're leaving now. As for the damaged chair, I'll call someone to deal with it."
If there was a chance, he would like to taste the long-life noodles made by Shirley again. The kind of noodles that was similar to his mother's feeling was rare in his life. What he ate was not just noodles.
Shirley smiled absentmindedly. Then she looked up at Claire and said, "Go ahead. Be careful on the way. If you have time, you can come back at any time. Claire, don't worry about the family affairs. Your father will never learn from it. Just let him bear it by himself! "
Claire was so tired that she had to bear the pressure of the whole family alone. Her father was a gambler and didn't know how to restrain himself at all. If it went on like this, the two of them would become the biggest burden to Claire one day.
Claire, who was still excited, was like a withered eggplant. After choking for a while, she reluctantly replied, "Mom, I know. Don't say that. I'll help you to go back to your room to rest. Your body can't be too tired."
Ten minutes later, Claire finished cleaning up her room and was pulled out by Henry. On the other hand, it didn't seem that Henry's trip was in vain. At least, the relationship between him and Claire had been closer.
However, after walking out of her house, Claire felt a little complicated. She lowered her head and said a few words from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.
